New Halo 5: Guardians Warzone Map Revealed with Mega Bloks

Microsoft has announced a new Warzone multiplayer map for Halo 5: Guardians, Raid on Apex 7. It’s the largest map revealed for the 12v12 game type so far. Microsoft showed off Raid on Apex 7 at Comic-Con through a model made up of more than 89,500 Mega Bloks and LED lights that took two builders 16 weeks to complete.

Halo: Combat Evolved fans will be pleased to know that Raid on Apex 7 is a spiritual successor to The Silent Cartographer. Here’s Microsoft’s official description of the map:

“Clearing out the initial Covenant threats and controlling the Forerunner Spire in the center of the island is paramount to a team’s success and provides a central base of operations. If your team loses the Spire, don’t despair; players can use a system of caves or taketo the beach to flank the base. Beware of the Covenant though, for they will not let you take this islandso easily. They will counterattack and fight to retake their territory. Continue the push for control of the island and take out the opposition’s core… before you awaken something much worse.”

Halo 5: Guardians is set to release for the Xbox One on October 27 of this year. You can check out our Warzone preview here, or the campaign and multiplayer previews.
